I'm staying in Puerto Rico or Puerto de Mogán. Can I still book?

Yes. The video visit works anywhere in the south of Gran Canaria: Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, San Agustín, Meloneras, Arguineguín, Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogán and Taurito. You only need a phone or laptop and a good connection.

Where is the nearest public A&E from Maspalomas?

Gran Canaria's large public hospitals with 24-hour emergency departments are in Las Palmas, including Hospital Universitario Insular de Gran Canaria, about 45 minutes by car. In an emergency, call 112. Dr. Yelamo also has a page for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with the city's hospitals.

I come every winter. Can you look after my regular medicines?

Often, yes. Stable long-term treatments can be reviewed by video. Where clinically appropriate, following a genuine evaluation, Dr. Yelamo issues a Spanish private electronic prescription that pharmacies in the south can dispense. A renewal is never guaranteed.

Which areas around Maspalomas do you cover?

By video, all of them: Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, San Agustín, Meloneras, Arguineguín, Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogán, Taurito and the rest of Mogán. You need a phone or laptop and a quiet spot with a good connection. Dr. Yelamo does not do home visits.

Is Dr. Yelamo licensed to practise in Spain?

Yes. Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera is a physician licensed in Spain (Nº Colegiado 484814280) and a member of the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Médicos de Bizkaia. He sees patients by secure video in Maspalomas and across Spain, and you always see the same named doctor.

What can a video visit cover?

Common illnesses, new symptoms and short-term follow-ups. Reviews of suitable long-term medicines. Advice, or a second opinion on test results. Children and pregnant patients can be seen too. Treatment and prescriptions are issued solely at the doctor's discretion, only if clinically indicated after a video assessment. Controlled medicines, such as sleeping pills, strong painkillers, stimulants and gabapentinoids, are not prescribed online.

What if I need to be examined in person?

Some problems need a physical exam, a scan or emergency care. If yours does, you will be told clearly and pointed to the right in-person service in Maspalomas. In an emergency, call 112: the video service is for urgent, non-emergency care.

Healthcare & Doctor Consultations in Spain

Private Medical Consultations in English with Zero Language Barriers

Direct Care with Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera (Colegiado No. 484814280)

Getting medical care in Spain as a tourist, digital nomad or expat can be hard. Language gaps at the public urgencias, new pharmacy rules and clinic sign-up forms can all slow you down when you need care soon.

Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera offers caring, bilingual GP care by secure HD video. You can join from your phone or laptop, wherever you are. There is no need to travel to a clinic.

Official Spanish E-Prescriptions & Insurance Invoices

Prescriptions are issued only where clinically appropriate, following a genuine evaluation. They are valid throughout Spain and, under EU Directive 2011/24/EU, can be dispensed in other EU and EEA countries where the medicine is authorised, except for some specially controlled medicines.

You receive a medical report and an itemised invoice to submit to your insurer. Check your policy before booking: reimbursement is decided by your insurer and is not guaranteed.

Evidence-Based Medical Practice (EBM)

Every consultation follows evidence-based clinical protocols. Before any treatment advice, the doctor checks your medical history, the medicines you take and any reason a treatment may not suit you.

When to seek emergency in-person care

These consultations are for urgent, non-emergency care. For severe red-flag symptoms (severe chest pressure, sudden neurological deficit, severe shortness of breath), go straight to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 112.
